Autumn Gold

It's a dull and rainy late autumn day in the Sally Gap en route to Blessington, Co Wicklow.  The Sally Gap is one of two east west passages across the Wicklow Mountains - the other being the Wicklow Gap a little further south of here.

It may be dull but there's still plenty of colour around as we take in the autumn gold - and the green.




Below, in the foreground, is the River Liffey which rises about a kilometre back and meanders for 125 km across counties Wicklow, Kildare and Dublin before entering the Irish Sea at Dublin Bay.
